IS IT THE END OF "HIGH TIMES" IN HOLLAND?

The Dutch Government Is Considering a Ban on the More Highly Potent Forms 
of Cannabis

Tourists who flock to Amsterdam to smoke cannabis in its "coffee shops" 
without fear of prosecution may find their choice curtailed as part of a 
proposed review of liberal Dutch drug laws. The Dutch government is 
considering a ban on the sale of highly potent strains of cannabis under 
the proposed review, cabinet sources said Tuesday. The center-right 
government in the Netherlands, where cannabis smokers can openly buy and 
smoke the drug in hundreds of government-regulated "coffee shops," is to 
discuss the proposed review in cabinet Thursday.
